3 Pre-school visit to Capstone Farm Country Park It was a really fun, exciting day yesterday, Mr Reid was waiting to take us to the visitor centre. We made sticky sticks in the garden. We picked flowers and leaves to stick on. Some of the leaves had a smell of mint or lemon. Then we went for a walk around the lake. Mr Reid gave us duck food to We stuck flowers on - Honey We put the sticks in the bag - Amrita give the ducks This is much better for the ducks than bread. We had five ducks over at one time. We sat on the grass to draw pictures of the lake, blossom trees, clouds, ducks and swans. We carried on and walked right round the lake and over the bridge. After lunch Mr Reid brought in trays of pond water. We used magnifying glasses to see all the many creatures that make the pond their home. Then Mr Reid brought in a slow worm to show us. Although it looks like a snake it is, in fact, a legless lizard. The visitor centre is a very interesting place with lots to see and discover. Later on we made tree faces. Mr Reid mixed up lots of soil with water and put muddy handfuls on trees. We found sticks in the woods - Zac The children collected dandelions, daisies, sticks and leaves to decorate their faces. We just had time to play in the playground, before heading back to school. Many thanks to Mr Reid, Mr Sparks and Mrs Smith for helping to make this day such a success. Mrs Reid and Mrs White

6 Amazing Angles! On Friday 20th April, whilst enjoying the sunshine and warm weather, the children of 5P enjoyed a different and interesting introduction to angles! We began by understanding the main angles like right, acute, obtuse and reflex angles and the criteria of these angles. After this, the children were set a challenge of creating different types of angles in a freeze frame using their bodies and working as a team! As you can see, lots of fantastic, unique freeze frames were created including a whole class freeze frame! Can you spot the different types of angles in the photos? As an extension to this, the children then focused on accurately measuring angles using protractors. 5P drew angles on the playground using chalk and then accurately measured these with the equipment to label the size! Well done 5P for your excellent enthusiasm to a new topic and we look forward to continuing this further! Mrs Platford.
